The charges stem from an incident in Oakland, Pa., on Oct. 21, where police say the trio surrounded a man and one of them punched the man in the head.

Graham, wide receiver Devin Street and defensive back Lafayette Pitts were not arrested, according to the report. The three will receive summonses by mail telling them to report to court for a Jan. 9 preliminary hearing.

According to a criminal complaint, Karl Olsheski told Pittsburgh police he had been assaulted. Olsheski said in an interview with police that he was walking in Oakland with two women when he was stopped by Graham, who said,” What’s up?” and then uttered a racial slur. Olsheski said he tried to leave but the three men surrounded him. Olsheski said in the complaint that Street slugged him on the left side of his head.

Graham is Pitt’s leading rusher with 622 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Street is the team’s leading receiver with 50 receptions for 695 yards and four touchdowns. Pitts has 21 total tackles and a fumble recovery.

There has been no word from the university regarding the players’ playing statuses.
